Question

What’s the equation for A slope =2 through the point (2,1)?

Answer 1

y = 2x - 3

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Here m = 2, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation of the line

To find c substitute (2, 1) into the partial equation

1 = 4 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 4 = - 3

y = 2x - 3 ← equation of line
